# Vertically Disengaged Desks The TwoStep by Bao-Nghi Droste Permits a Pair of Different Postures By Amelia Roblin | Published 2012-02-03 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/twostep-by-bao-nghi-droste References: [notcot.org](http://www.notcot.org/post/45928/) & [bao-nghi](http://bao-nghi.com/19_TwoStep/19_TwoStep.html) Since many Westerners feel as though they spend most of their waking hours seated at a desk, the TwoStep by Bao-Nghi Droste offers an additional way to get your business done. The simple contemporary escritoire is divided into a pair of [separate writing surfaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/herman-miller-spout), of which one requires you to sit and the second for your to stand. A chic powder blue steel frame defines the [narrow perimeter of the work station](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/leandesk), bolted together with two sets of supportive tubular legs. The pair of longer poles anchors one side of the chair-height tabletop and continues about 20 centimeters upwards to balance a [small elevated panel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/little-bean-standing-desk). A little drawer is tucked into TwoStep by Bao-Nghi Droste, providing a place to slip excess cables. Tidiness and the separation of tasks are easily promoted by this charming piece. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.1/10 - Popularity: 34% | Activity: 21% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Versatile Workstations:** The TwoStep desk is indicative of a trend towards workstations that permit multiple postures. - **Office Health and Wellness:** The TwoStep desk highlights a growing trend towards workplace design aimed at promoting productivity and worker wellbeing. - **Flexible Furniture Design:** The TwoStep desk exemplifies a trend towards innovative furniture design that adapts to the changing needs of the modern workplace. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Furniture Manufacturing:** Furniture manufacturers may explore the integration of ergonomic design features that promote flexibility, comfort and wellbeing in the office. - **Interior Design:** Interior designers could focus on creating flexible, multi-functional workspaces that encourage people to alternate between sitting and standing postures. - **Office Technology:** Entrepreneurs in the space of office technology could investigate ways to automate the adjustment of workstations to help workers alternate between sitting and standing postures. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Standing Desk Workstations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/standing-desk-workstations.md) - [Motorized Cable-Hiding Desk Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/steno-sitandstand-work-desk.md) - [Floor-Sit Desk Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uppeal-desk-lshaped.md) - [Adjustable Ergonomic Desks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/croft-sitstand.md) - [Freestanding Vertical Desk Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/workstick.md) - [Multifunctional Standing Work Desks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/boundary-desk-1.md) - [Adjustable Modern Work Desks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spout.md) - [Adjustable Laptop Desk Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sitstand-desk1.md) - [Mechanical Motor-Free Standing Desks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/standing-desk-concept.md)
